Insert picture into a text box in Word 2010

I am trying to insert a picture into a textbox in Word 2010 but every time I paste it from a Powerpoint slide into the textbox it just shows as a clear white box within the textbox that I can select and change in size but not actually see. I've tried Insert>Picture>From File to see if that works. I've also checked File>Options>Advanced>Show document content>Show drawings and text boxes on screen and I've unchecked Show picture placeholders. I've also checked File>Options>Display>Printing Options> Print drawings created in Word and still no luck.

Has anybody else got any ideas on how to fix this? I've been stuck on it for a couple of days now and really can't seem to work it out!

HI,

 

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community,

Let’s start with opening the Word application in its safe mode and then try to perform the action and verify the results.

 

Hold the Windows key and press R, type WinWord /safe (note there is a space between WinWord and /).

 

If the application works fine in application safe mode, try disabling the add INS for the application and check the result.

  • Click the File tab
  • Go to Options
  • Click Add-ins
  • Clear all the options

If the issue persists, take back up of normal.dotm file and delete normal.dotm from the file location mentioned below.

  

C:\Users\(username)\appdata\ Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\

 

Please post back with the status of the issue or if you need any further help.

 

Thank you
